The river now swerved directly west. Fraser knew where the Columbia turned west was south of 107 the Boundary. There was only one conclusion this was not the Columbia. He had been exploring a new river. It was the wildly magnificent stream now called after Fraser.. The coast Indians were always notoriously hos- tile. The mountain tribes warned Fraser not to go on. Mount Baker loomed south an opal fire, and on the river near what is now New Westminster Fraser saw the ripple of the tide. Where th...e river divided into two channels, armed Indians pursued in their canoes "singing war songs, beating time with paddles, howling like so many wolves, " flour- ishing spears. A few hours would have carried Fraser to the sea ; but these warriors barred the way. He had fulfilled his order. He had followed the unknown river to tide water. On the 3rd of July, Fraser turned back up the river. The coast Indians pursued, pillaging packs when the white men camped, threatening violence when the voyageurs embarked.
